Description

Boleyn House and Flats is a building from the early 19th century located on Ship Street. It features a three-storey elevation with four bays, constructed of roughcast with a slate roof and flanking brick stacks. The façade includes plain pilasters, an eaves band, a band at the second floor level, and a plinth. The windows are sash style, three panes wide, set in reveals. On the ground floor, the right-hand two bays contain a shop front and a six-panelled house door with a rectangular fanlight leading to flat No. 2. The third bay from the right has a six-panelled door with four fielded panels for flat No. 1, while the fourth bay features a triple sash window with glazing bars and a door, all beneath a bracketed cornice.

At the rear, there is a small courtyard with a stone flagged floor, accessible through a passage that has stop-chamfered beams. The north wall of the courtyard showcases an original pointed arch on the ground floor, alongside a four-pane wide sash window on the first floor and another sash window below it. The west wall of the courtyard includes a tall gabled wing dating from the late 16th to 17th century, which is two storeys high with an attic. The first floor and attic are slate-hung, with the first floor overhanging and featuring a moulded bressummer. The attic storey has a moulded bargeboard and finial, with an attic window consisting of three mullioned lights. There is also a sash window on the first floor and a 20-pane sash window on the ground floor, which has an external stair leading up to the doorway for flat No. 3. The south wing of the yard dates from the 18th to early 19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier core. The courtyard walls are colourwashed, with window openings that have cambered heads, including a 9-pane sash window above and a 15-pane sash window below.

Inside the shop at the front, there are moulded beams.
